Was it really Microsoft that killed Windows phone? Or was it simply just too late. By the time it was really available I'm not sure there was actually a chance for a third platform to survive.

This really isn't any different than the "hand crafted" trend. People like hand crafted even in cases where it's objectively worse than machine made. Also, it's often hard to know when something is really "hand

You can do a ton of creating things on iOS. People just don't. It's not remotely because the devices are "locked down," it's because consuming content is easy and satisfying.

Their products are not good. Bell has had real fibre to the home for a lot longer than Rogers for example. Their tv service is a joke while Bell even offers crave to non bell customers for a reasonable price over the internet. The there is

As long as they don't stop offering Starlink direct to home owners and RV users as a result of this. Unfortunately, given how aggressive and monopolistic Rogers is I could see this being an outcome. I'm sure Rogers has at least pu

"Hopes to grow" revenues. Current estimates put hardware costs alone at $700k/day, so even if they hit $300M in 2023 that won't make them profitable. This isn't even counting the people costs and other operation cos

One thing that is often lost with the free speech argument is amplification. For example, no one is stopping most people from going and yelling on a street corner. But that doesn't mean that you need to be allowed to speak in a particu

Yes, but where can you actually buy these? What's the total cost. I see on this page "request a quote" which usually means it's not worth exploring for a home user.

It's not clear from the article that this footage was from the cabin camera. Filming garages should be off limits, but footage from public roads and parking lots doesn't seem as outrageous.

Honestly I'd put rust somewhere between Lisp and Haskell, solidly in the academic language camp. It's full of all sorts of neat tricks, with a great variety of ways to accomplish any one thing. You also need to dip into 3rd party

No one is fighting against high wages. And people with more wealth have vastly more income. People with low wealth have vastly less income. Income is not just what you earn working, it includes what your wealth generates. It's a fact t

If you want to define rich as not having to work then the percentiles get even worse for your case. It is about percentiles. You just don't want to accept that you have way way way way way more than the vast majority of people already.

If you are in the business of making money like minio, you may as well just use a commercial license. No business will touch AGPL, they will just opt to pay for a commercial license.

Where did I say they should be insulated? I said they are pissed off since you seem confused as to why. Imagine telling a laid off employee: you work for a tech company you're supposed to know what the company is doing before you join.

Whether or not you think a take home test is appropriate, it would be unethical of the company to let some candidates skip it. Every candidate should be evaluated the same way.
